Stegomyia is a large subgenus of the mosquito genus Aedes with 131 species classified in six species groups, two groups of which are further divided into subgroups.
Nepenthesinfauna are the organisms that inhabit the pitchers of Nepenthes plants. These include fly and midge larvae, spiders, mites, ants, and even a species of crab, Geosesarma malayanum. The most common and conspicuous predators found in pitchers are mosquito larvae, which consume large numbers of other larvae during their development. Many of these animals are so specialised that they cannot survive anywhere else, and are referred to as nepenthebionts.
Philip James Barraud was an English entomologist who specialised in mosquitoes. He wrote the Fauna of British India volume on the mosquitoes.
Ochlerotatus is a genus of mosquito. Until 2000, it was ranked as a subgenus of Aedes, but after Reinert's work, the clade was upgraded to the level of a genus. This change has resulted in the renaming of many subgenus species, and many aedini-related taxa are undergoing taxonomic revisions. Some authors are still using traditional taxonomic names in their publications.
Anopheles is a genus of mosquitoes (Culicidae) with about 484 recognised species.
Mansonia mosquitoes are big, black or brown mosquitoes with sparkling on their wings and legs. They breed in ponds and lakes containing certain aquatic plants, especially the floating type like Pistia stratiotes and water hyacinth. The eggs are laid in star-shaped clusters on the undersurface of leaves of these plants. The larvae and pupae are found attached to the rootlets of these plants by their siphons. They obtain their air supply from these rootlets. When about to become adult, these pupae come to the surface of water and the fully formed adults emerge and escape. The control of Mansonia mosquitoes is easy by removal or destruction of the aquatic host plants by herbicides.
Pseudoficalbia is a subgenus of the mosquito genus Uranotaenia with 146 species. It was originally created as a genus by Frederick Vincent Theobald in 1911 ; however, it was later treated as a subgenus of Uranotaenia, and then was made a synonym of the same genus. It was later restored as a subgenus by E.L. Peyton in 1972.
Uranotaenia is a subgenus of the mosquito genus Uranotaenia with 121 species:
Lutzia is a genus of mosquitos. First described in 1903 by Frederick Vincent Theobald, it includes species whose larval stages exhibit predatory behavior. The type species is Lutzia bigoti.
Uranotaenia lateralis is a species of zoophilic mosquito in the family Culicidae. It is found in Thailand, Sri Lanka, Japan, Australia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Thailand, Timor, and Vietnam. They are known to live in crab holes, prefer to live around banks of water pools and are known to feed on mudskippers.
Mansonia (Mansonioides) annulifera is a species of zoophilic mosquito belonging to the genus Mansonia.
Mimomyia (Mimomyia) chamberlaini is a species of zoophilic mosquito belonging to the genus Mimomyia. It is found in Sri Lanka, Philippines, Hainan Island, Celebes, Java Malaya, Thailand, Myanmar, and Australia.
Mimomyia (Mimomyia) hybrida is a species of zoophilic mosquito belonging to the genus Mimomyia. It is found in Sri Lanka, Malaya, Singapore, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Philippines, and Thailand.
Mimomyia (Mimomyia) luzonensis is a species of zoophilic mosquito belonging to the genus Mimomyia. It is found in Sri Lanka Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Armigeres is a genus of mosquito belonging to the family Culicidae. Certain species of Armigeres have the ability to raise their hindlegs and create an egg raft, in which they transport eggs and carefully deposit those eggs onto the water's surface.
Tripteroides is a genus of mosquitoes belonging to the family Culicidae. It is a large and complex assemblage of 122 species and 5 subgenera. Species are distributed from India to Japan, and south to Australia including the islands of southeast Asia and the South Pacific. The species comprising the genus are highly diverse, and the relationships among Tripteroides and Trichoproposon species remain unresolved as many characters overlap. The taxonomic status of this genus urgently needs revision to better understand the relationships among the species and to improve the classification of the genus.
Mimomyia is a genus of mosquitoes that belongs to the family Culicidae. The genus Mimomyia has 45 species and 3 subgenera, the species can be found in the Australasian, Oriental, and Afrotropical regions, as well as Madagascar and surrounding islands.
